Global Astronomy Month is the world’s largest annual celebration of astronomy. Whether local events or online, watching or sharing, science or art, there’s something for everyone.

Community

Community

The Astronomers Without Borders global community is at the heart of everything we do. Bringing the community together through astronomy fosters friendship, understanding, and good will. Programs and activities are made possible by the participation of AWB members.

Check out our new August eclipse education program. Schools and teachers will soon be able to sign up to learn how you can receive free resources by running your own AWB fundraising campaign. AWB will be there to help you!

AWB's president, Mike Simmons, penned an article about the Building on the Eclipse Education Program. Read about how this program can impact your community at the Sky and Telescope website. Sign up for updates or join on the project page.
